Chapter 275: Chapter 273: Suddenly Wanting to Abandon Old Sun
The entire base supermarket was divided into two areas, one large and one small, filled with brimming shelves.

The larger area was towards the back, brightly lit as if there were even cameras, and several red “Supplies Selection Area” signs were hanging at intervals above.
It must have been because of the A-zone supermarket in the base, which was a class above other places.
The goods were copious and abundant at a glance, and the quantities were sufficient.
It could compete with a typical pre-apocalypse supermarket.
The items placed at the very entrance were toiletries, mostly domestic brands.
There was no categorization; everything was mixed together.
Food must be the most precious commodity within the base, located at the very back, with dedicated patrols.
Whereas here at the entrance, the area was relatively smaller and the lighting dimmer, with the “Supplies Points Exchange Area” sign hanging.
Meaning, the supermarket here didn’t support the direct exchange of goods.
To go in and purchase supplies, one needed to first exchange their possessions for points in the exchange area.
The items on these shelves were quite eclectic, mostly looking worn and tattered—pots, pans, ladles, clothing, bedding, stoves, tools, everything you could think of.
These were likely provided by outsiders who came to the base.
In front of the shelves sat two women over fifty, faces folded with wrinkles.
They were engrossed in reading novels.
Looking at the tattered and curled covers of the books, they seemed to be something along the lines of “Overbearing CEO Falls In Love With….”
Both women seemed listless, barely lifting their eyelids for a cursory glance as a few people walked in.
Su Dai stepped forward and politely said, “Hello, I need to exchange some items. Could you tell me how to do that?”
The slightly shorter woman glanced up at her, “Snap,” a form was slapped onto the table with irritated comportment, “Look for yourself.”
A frown crossed Su Dai’s brow as she turned to look at Jiang Yan for support.
Jiang Yan said nothing.
Even such mundane positions in the base, during the apocalypse, were opportunities only for those with connections inside.
Moreover, it had been so long since the apocalypse, one wouldn’t be so glass-hearted due to a displeased tone of voice.
Not that fragile.
Later, Su Dai finally caught on and picked up the form, coming to the forefront.
“Cigarettes: 100-3000 points
Liquor: 100-5000 points
…
Mutated Rat Jerky: 1-10 points
Clothing: 1-10 points.
For other items, refer to the exchange rate, or negotiate on-site between both parties.”
Jiang Yan glanced it over and instantly understood.
Cigarettes and liquor had such a wide range for exchange points because the higher-ups likely had a need for them.
They didn’t lack food or drink but yearned for these scarce luxuries, naturally willing to spend big money for enjoyment.
As for the common people, struggling with basic daily sustenance, they naturally wouldn’t think about these.
“Hello, I’ll exchange these,” Sun Jingtao said as he took out two pieces of clothing, three fire tongs, and a large chunk of mutated rat jerky, handing them to the attendant.
“60 points.”
“Hand over your Residence Card,” said the attendant languidly.
Su Dai hurriedly passed it over.
“There, the points are on the card now,” the attendant lazily placed the card on a flat device, and after a “beep,” handed it back.
Ye Qing offered up two slightly rusted daggers.
“20 points.”
Their primary reason for coming to the supermarket was to exchange for toiletries.
As for food, they still had some and weren’t in a hurry.
Jiang Yan lacked nothing, but having come, she had to go through the motions.
Seeing that the three hadn’t obtained many points, she thought for a moment and took out a pack of cigarettes from her backpack.
It was a pack of soft Zhonghua, without a wrinkle or stain.
Pre-apocalypse, it would have sold for 55 yuan.
Now, according to that supplies exchange range, she guessed it could fetch five or six hundred points at least.
Indeed, the moment she took out her cigarettes, the aunties’ eyes lit up.
“My, you’ve really kept these items in great condition!” After another look at Jiang Yan’s appearance and attire, formal language was immediately adopted.
Su Dai’s pupils shrunk as well.
Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing, aware of Jiang Yan’s capabilities, were somewhat unperturbed.
“700 points,” declared the short woman as she respectfully returned the Residence Card to Jiang Yan.
“Jiang Yan, you—,” this time, Su Dai’s eyes widened in surprise.
700 points could buy so many things!
It felt like an instant windfall!
Jiang Yan smiled and handed the card over to her, “Here, you’re in charge of selecting, you’re in charge of paying.”
“Ah?” Su Dai was startled before realizing, “Really?!”
She almost jumped for joy, like a child.
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” Jiang Yan smiled, her lips curved.
“Heh, I knew it! Following you means there’s always a meal to look forward to after finishing the last one!” Su Dai hugged her tightly.
Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing looked on, smiling and clearing their throats a few times.
Jiang Yan gave her a sidelong glance, “Sister Su, your words seem rather poetic!”
“Hehe, of course!!” Su Dai laughed heartily and then said, “Suddenly I feel like abandoning my ‘Old Sun’.”
Sun Jingtao: “….”
Jiang Yan and Ye Qing exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but burst into laughter…
